BSc (Hons) Geography (Combined)

Explore places – Chester’s proximity to a range of physical and social environments including coasts, rivers, mountains, cities and remote rural areas enables us to incorporate fieldwork and field-based research throughout our courses. This allows you to explore key processes and issues in human or physical geography first-hand. In addition to UK-based residential fieldwork, we offer international fieldwork opportunities in Norway, Spain, and New York.

Understand environments - Learn about the human and physical processes that shape our world and understand the most pressing global environmental issues. Benefit from a flexible programme, which allows you to develop specialisms in distinctive areas of physical/human geography. Demonstrate your knowledge through a wide range of innovative and real-world authentic assignments, including podcasts, debates, briefings, and consultancy reports.

Influence change - Our modules are designed to ensure that you develop the knowledge, skills, expertise, and confidence to become an agent of change. Wide-ranging employment-focussed skills are embedded throughout the programme (GIS, laboratory analytical methods, environmental monitoring, big data analysis, critical thinking, project management), and we provide an invaluable opportunity for you to build relevant employment and problem-solving experience by working with a graduate employer as a part of a full-time work placement module.
